This chapter provides an overview of the X Series unit's monitoring functions. It describes the
types of vital sign monitoring that X Series provides, and the flexibility that the X Series unit
gives you in displaying a patient's vital signs information.
X Series Monitoring Functions
The X Series unit provides an array of standard, and optional, monitoring functions, and allows
you to view the vital signs measurements that these functions provide in a variety of formats.
The X Series unit also allows you to set alarm limits for each monitoring function. Should a
patient's vital signs measurements go outside of these limits, the X Series issues an audible
alarm tone and displays visual alarm indications to alert you.
If the X Series unit is powered off for less than 2 minutes, all patient monitoring parameter
settings are retained. If the X Series unit is powered off for 2 minutes or longer, the unit
operates as if there is a New Patient and all patient-specific parameters (alarm limits,
defibrillator energy, etc.) are reset to their default values.
The X Series unit can monitor the following patient vital signs:
